UsesDefaultDataset

Gets whether a Triple Pattern is Thread Safe when evaluated.

Declaration
public virtual bool UsesDefaultDataset { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean
Remarks

Almost all Triple Patterns are Thread Safe unless they are subquery patterns which themselves are not thread safe.

CompareTo(ITriplePattern)

Compares a Triple Pattern to another Triple Pattern.

Declaration
public virtual int CompareTo(ITriplePattern other)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ITriplePattern other

Other Triple Pattern.
Returns
Type Description
int
Remarks

The aim of this function is to sort Triple Patterns into what is hopefully an optimal order such that during execution the query space is restricted as early as possible.

The basic rules of this are as follows:.

  1. Patterns with fewer variables should be executed first
  2. Patterns using the same variables should be executed in sequence
  3. Patterns using indexes which are considered more useful should be executed first
